uin	23657
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/01/2016 answer text <p>The National Risk Register of Civil Emergencies (NRR) is the public-facing version of the National Risk Assessment (NRA), a classified assessment of the civil emergency risks facing the UK over the next five years. The NRR is published by the Civil Contingencies Secretariat, Cabinet Office. Due to sensitivities, beyond the detail contained within the NRR (particularly Chapter 3 of the <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/national-risk-register-of-civil-emergencies" target="_blank">2015 iteration</a>) the NRA methodology is not for public disclosure. However, every risk in the NRR is owned and assessed by a lead government department. Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is owned by the Department of Health, which is preparing a paper for submission to the Lancet that sets out the analytical methods used to underpin the National AMR Strategy.</p> answering member constituency West Dorset answering member printed Mr Oliver Letwin question first answered 26/01/2016 13:24:27 answering member 247 label Biography information for Sir Oliver Letwin

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/01/2016 answer text <p>Improving mobile coverage remains a priority for the Government, and our landmark agreement in December 2014 with the four mobile network operators (MNOs) to provide voice and SMS text coverage to at least 90% of the UK landmass by 2017 will significantly improve coverage in the UK. It guarantees £5 billion of investment in mobile infrastructure, and as a result mobile services will come to some areas for the first time. It will halve partial not-spots (where the is coverage from at least one MNO, but not all four), and cut total not spots by two thirds by end 2017. Additionally, Telefonica has a licence obligation to deliver indoor 4G coverage to 98% of premises in the UK by 2017. Other MNOs have indicated that they will match this commitment.</p> answering member constituency Wantage answering member printed Mr Edward Vaizey question first answered 26/01/2016 15:14:36 answering member 1580 label Biography information for Lord Vaizey of Didcot
